Hey everyone! I'm planning to buy a laptop for work, gaming, music production, and video editing, and I'm hoping to get some guidance. I'm really tired of using Windows every day and most of the tools I utilize are compatible with Linux or online. I'm considering either an Intel i7 or Ryzen 7 processor at a minimum. I have my eyes on a few distributions, specifically Manjaro, POP!_OS, or Ubuntu Studio, and would prefer something beginner-friendly. If anyone has insight on good laptop brands or models, or even if building a PC is a better option, I'd love your input. Thanks!

If you're looking for a laptop that supports Linux well, I'd recommend going with a Thinkpad or a Framework laptop. They tend to have fewer driver issues. I had some compatibility problems with my previous MacBook Pro, but with these, you can generally avoid those headaches when running Linux.
I've heard a lot about Thinkpads too! Would building a PC be a simpler option for Linux users?
